I used to watch all the time, but I know Kashmire well enough and know his hunting "preference" and it is to do so without an audience. So, I know that I can safely leave a live mouse with him for about 1/2 an hour and if he's not eaten in that time, I remove it.

I just listen for the tell-tale "thud" and know that he's captured his prey. He's very efficient at killing his prey.

You have to know your animals.
